More Than Words: Strong Women

In today's episode of More than Words, we’ll focus on women who sacrifice and provide for their families. Deneira is a graduate of Frederick Douglass High School. She walked across the stage last week. She lives with her mom, grandma and several pets.

These three generations of women have faced many struggles, some of which are ongoing. Deneira will tell you about some of her challenges next week, but first she wanted to share a piece about the women in her life who exemplify perseverance and strength.

More Than Words is supported by a generous grant from the Philip and Beryl Sachs Family Foundation.
